Properties don't define the market, the market defines the properties. 

@Matthew Paul please define "contractor"...We've found licensed electricians and plumbers at Home Depots. 

The rest, to me, can be a full-time job.I’m not trying to define you, Angelo, just wondering your direction and why.

:Technically a room must have a closet to be defined in a listing as a bedroom everywhere I am aware of.

Lead-Safe (in Philadelphia) is defined as a unit being identified to have positive lead-paint components within the unit; however, if the wipe samples come back below the legal limit, the unit is determined safe for their occupants.

It's more important than doing individual property analysis, because when you do a proper market analysis, you are analyzing ALL of the properties in any market(s) at the same time.Now, one of the analysis "pitfalls" is not understanding what defines a market, or more importantly, a Micro-market.Another problem is focusing on one strategy, and trying to fit each market/property. 

Which of the 3 record types to target is dictated by the relevant statutes which define the legal process for the leads you are interested in purchasing/pursuing.

The best next step is to define your investment goals—whether it's house hacking, long-term rentals, or flips—and start networking with local investors in Houston.

It's easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis - the key is creating a strategy that aligns with your goals and lifestyle.Then, you can start defining what an ideal investment property looks like in terms of returns and property types, allowing you to evaluate opportunities that fit.Good luck!

The fees and overall costs of these loans needs to be a key factor including what if the project goes over time . . . . you can be underwater in no time.Underestimating repair costs and overestimating ARVs based on Zestimates are the next stumbling block.There's money to be made but make sure numbers all work WITH contingencies defined and overages expected . . . remember, a project will always cost more and take longer than initially thought!
